Bit of a hot take maybe, but the canned blackjack/roulette stuff does absolutely nothing for me anymore. I load it up, play a few hands or spins, and it just feels flat as. No vibe, no tension, no little dealer quirks, nothing. Might as well be tapping a pokie bonus button and pretending it's the same thing.
The live rooms aren't perfect either — some of them drag on forever, and a few dealers look like they'd rather be anywhere else — but I'd still take that every day over the robotic versions. At least it feels like a proper game. Even the little pauses, the chat carrying on, someone at the table having a spray after a bad beat... that's half the fun, hey.
Also reckon some sites cram in way too many flashy side bets now. Every second seat's got lightning this, multipliers that, bonus wheel bolted onto a normal hand... bloody circus sometimes. Give me a clean blackjack table or a decent roulette stream and I'm happy. Keen to hear where everyone else is at with it — you still play the quick auto tables, or have they gone a bit stale for you too?
